I had to live with my dad until I was 24 and found the experience excruciating. Can't imagine making it to 38

I moved out at 19 and it was the best decision I ever made. My 2 younger siblings stayed a lot longer and apart from the cheap cost of living (it was pretty late that my dad started charging them rent and even then it was barely anything) I really never understood how they put up with it

yeah, i had some friends who lived at home for a couple of years after college... all they did was complaint relentless about their parents. but they also just refused to move out because they didn't want to pay rent or have roommates and would tell me I was a chump for paying rent and have roommates, and then I'd say how not living with your parents is the best. and they'd get so mad at me and not talk to me for a couple of weeks.

still, some people actually get along with their parents are are friendly with them and like being around them. blessed bastards, they are.
